Tampa Bay Times covered this year’s Fulfill Your Destiny’s Spring Chari-Tea Event! Times Correspondent, Lenora Lake, shared Karen Mertes’ story and her motivation to help others through the Fulfill Your Destiny charity. Lake highlighted the events that took place and a spotlight on recipient of the event’s Wheels for Success, Lyda Haaga.

One highlight from our 2016 Spring Chari-Tea was presenting Teri A with a ‘new to her’ Honda Accord. Fulfill Your Destiny and Wheels of Success partnered to make this happen when Fulfill Your Destiny donated $3,000 to Wheels of Success for their ‘Build a Car’ program. For the second year in a row, Fulfill Your Destiny and Wheels of Success have partnered to present a local woman with a car at Fulfill Your Destiny’s annual Spring Chari-Tea.

Big thanks to our 2016 Teapot Title Sponsor, C1 Bank, our other 37 very generous sponsors, as well as the 100 beautiful ladies that attended our signature annual event. Together we positively impacted a single mother’s life!

Another highlight from our Spring Chari-Tea this year was helping the clients at PARC. Fulfill Your Destiny commissioned PARC to make custom Teapot and Teacup ornaments through a donation Fulfill Your Destiny made to PARC. All guests that attended Fulfill Your Destiny’s 2016 Spring Chari-Tea presented by C1 Bank received one of those special custom made ornaments as a gift for attending this year’s Chari-Tea.

Fulfill Your Destiny recognizes people and organizations who have helped further our mission of helping others by presenting them with Fulfill Your Destiny’s H.E.R.O. – ‘Hands Eagerly Reach Out’ to help others when and where needed awards. This year, Fulfill Your Destiny’s H.E.R.O. Awards were presented to Kristi Campbell of Home Instead Senior Care and Tara Richter, Richter Publishing, LLC.

Kristie Campbell of Home Instead Senior Care was presented with Fulfill Your Destiny’s H.E.R.O. Award for suggesting Karen Mertes, founder of Fulfill Your Destiny. She seeks sponsors for her speaking engagements. Kristie Campbell of Home Instead Senior Care then generously and repeatedly sponsored several of Karen’s presentations.

Tara Richer, Richter Publishing, LLC, as the publisher of Karen’s book, PLAINTIFF 101, helped make PLAINTIFF 101 a #1 Amazon Best Seller and a #1 Hot New Release. Since all the proceeds from PLAINTIFF 101 are donated directly to Fulfill Your Destiny, Tara and Richter Publishing have also helped further our mission of helping others.
